Holocene climate–vegetation–land use interactions in the mesomediterranean coastlands of northern Greece
Mesomediterranean vegetation with abundant evergreen broadleaved trees and shrubs is dominant along the coast of northern Greece. Well-dated palynological records are available from the inland submediterranean zone, where evergreen broadleaved trees and shrubs are absent or rare, but less is known about the vegetation history of the coastal area. For instance, it is unclear when and why evergreen broadleaved vegetation expanded during the Holocen…
Development of a landscape in NE Minnesota, from the Early Holocene to Forest-harvesting, Agriculture and Industry
An array of lake sediment proxies including paleobotanic, geochemical, and historical records has been used to determine former environments of Bugbee Pond, a small, mesotrophic pond in northeastern Minnesota. Much research has been produced on the history of climate and vegetation change of the region, yet we have little information on the impact of human settlement. This well-dated, high resolution, multi-proxy record is important for its lengt…
Linking Holocene East Asian monsoon variability to solar forcing and Enso activity
High-resolution proxy-based paleoenvironmental records derived from peatlands provide important insights into climate changes over centennial to millennial timescales. In this study, we present a composite climatic index (CCI) for the Hani peatland from northeastern China, based on an innovative combination of pollen-spore, phytolith, and grain size data. We use the CCI to reconstruct variations of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) intensity d…
Paleoecological evidence for a multi-trophic regime shift in a perialpine lake (Lake Joux, Switzerland)
First human impacts and responses of aquatic systems
Lake sediments constitute natural archives of past environmental changes. Historically, research has focused mainly on generating regional climate records, but records of human impacts caused by land use and exploitation of freshwater resources are now attracting scientific and management interests. Long-term environmental records are useful to establish ecosystem reference conditions, enabling comparisons with current environments and potentiall…
From medieval land clearing to industrial development
The Joux Valley (Swiss Jura Mountains) has a rather unusual history of human occupation, characterized by tardive but extensive settlement since the Late Middle Ages, followed by an intensive period of industrial development. To estimate the links between human activities and environmental consequences, sediment cores were retrieved in Lake Joux and submitted to a multiproxy analysis (high-resolution photographs, magnetic susceptibility, density,…
En quoi la complexité a-t-elle des répercussions sur l’évaluation? Introduction au numéro spécial
How Does Complexity Impact Evaluation? An Introduction to the Special Issue
In recent years, the evaluation of complex interventions has been of great interest to members of the evaluation community. In this special issue of the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation, we explore how evaluators, in their practice, approach the evaluation of complex interventions. The aim of this issue is not to provide exhaustive coverage of all the different ways of evaluating complex interventions, but rather to inform practitioners on …
Un état des lieux théoriques de l’évaluation
This article examines the present state of the theoretical bases of program evaluation by applying key analytical criteria proposed by Kuhn and by Lakatos for the study of scientific disciplines. The study identifies the main theoretical and empirical components of the discipline, clarifies their interactions, and discusses their influence on the development of the discipline. However, the structuring of knowledge, the relationship between theory…
